"smallfarm" is an 11-acre, family-operated farm located in the heart of Pemberton Meadows. We grow all our own vegetables and berries, selling what we can spare.

Our main commercial crop has been several years in the growing, and this year is finally making its debut. With an orchard of over 300 trees, "smallfarm" is proud to provide you with this fall's hazelnut crop.

The appeal of hazelnuts has risen in the past few years, especially since the U.S. FDA declared them a "heart-healthy" food. Hazelnuts contain a high proportion of essential oils, and a well-balanced mixture of vitamins and minerals. Recent Canadian research also suggests that hazelnuts may contribute to management of Type II Diabetes, by improving lipid and blood sugar levels.

Our hazelnuts are not only healthy; they're also grown naturally, without chemical additives. Tasty and infinitely adaptable in many different recipes, they lend a crunchy, distinctive flavour in salads, main dishes, desserts, or - our favourite - a handful just as a delicious snack!
